To put it in perspective, here are 9 ways Bush got favored treatment in the
service due to his political connections (he
was then son of a Congressman and grandson of a former Senator):
1) He got into the Guard by pulling strings, avoiding the year and a half

What would be sensible strategies/weapons for a middle-ranking
country to employ if it thought it is likely to be involved in a war
against the USA or other Western countries, say in the next 10

I think one strategy would be to use large numbers of low cost
cruise missiles (LCCM). The...

It takes time to wind up and has a small projectile, so how does
the M61 really stack up against, say, the BK27 og Giat 30mm as
far as dogfighting is concerned? Even with the PGU28?

Also why not market the C-17 to the air freight community?

Well I watched "Hardball" last night with Campbell Brown.
She had Bartlett, one of the Bushies on. She asked him a question. He talked
for a while and she said something like, "you are very articulate, but that
avoids the question completely." I wish more of the Press would point out that

Here's a 1946 look at the German wartime secrets- just a "fraction" of

He's a documented adulterer, major league alcoholic, and not much of a driver
(one of his dates never got home alive).
It appears his moral outrage is selective. He now opposes the use of force to
remove a dictator (and his...

The RAAF's 35 F-111 warplanes - Australia's front-line strategic strike
force - could be retired from service from 2006, a decade earlier than

retirement for the...
